1. This is both an ABI as well as an API break and so this is
absolutely unacceptable. Instead, avformat_free_context() should be
deprecated (but kept!) and a new function avformat_free_context2()
should be added.
2. Your patch is not based upon git master:
> - av_free(s);
> - s = NULL;
> + av_freep(&s);
master doesn't have s = NULL;
3. Version bump and API changes should be in the same patch.
4. Some callers already reset the freed AVFormatContext pointers to NULL:
> - avformat_free_context(seg->avf);
> + avformat_free_context(&seg->avf);
> seg->avf = NULL;
In this case, the resets will become redundant and should be removed.
5. I am actually unsure whether the new function is worth the effort.
